| Lopen 07/06/18 4:18:09 PM #300 | Well I'm about as convinced as I can be on Dan Lambert from 3 videos as I didn't watch much of any TNA when he was active. He seems pretty good. The first video in particular impressed me as he managed to talk 5 minutes while being interesting the whole time. Good managers are definitely an undervalued thing nowadays. Probably not nearly this high for me but I at least won't rag on you for it like I have for certain other "why is this so high" entries. Benefit of a doubt earned at least. Frankly Becky Lynch is probably more out of place than he is for me. And I like Becky Lynch. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 1:34:19 PM #289 | Right. Edge's matches always got a good reaction even if they weren't technical marvels or anything, and I'd easily call him a better wrestler than pretty much anyone on NXT even if he's had less 5* matches or whatever because he was very good at identifying what worked and using it well to rile up the crowd. Then again I'm a lot less hyped on supposed "great NXT matches" in general than most people are and I'm sure there will be dozens of matches coming out of there that don't stand the test of time... but I digress. Anyway I'm just saying like, more of Austin's matches hold up better even if he wasn't at his peak in ring, and there are a lot of guys from Edge's era that have more timeless matches, and I don't think that's just a coincidence or anything. I talked about Jericho/Benoit ladder not feeling at all like a 4*+ match watching it in 2017, but you can find many matches from those guys from that era that do feel that way today. Edge having so few timeless matches is probably a symptom of the man as much as the era. In a different era could he have been more? Sure maybe, but on the other hand nothing about the era for example said he should use a janky ass spear. But I'm not trying to tear the guy down. On the flip side I think what's maybe underappreciated by some about Edge in the ring is less that he's had a lot of great matches, and moreso that he almost never had bad or even mediocre ones. They were always at least somewhat enjoyable to watch. That's something you very rarely see, even among the great wrestlers. Like I can't recall ever feeling like Edge was totally phoning it in. Edge is going to reliably get you that 3-3.5* range match, for better or for worse. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 1:06:08 PM #287 | Edge's weakpoint has always been his matches for me. The only matches I love of his are from his Edge and Christian days-- partially because of the superior Christian, partially because being in a tag team probably concealed a lot of his weaknesses, and partially because he wasn't using that gawd awful spear as a finish. I'm not gonna call him a bad wrestler or anything, but I don't think it's necessarily only in hindsight that you can say he wasn't great in the ring. I do get what you (and Meltzer) are saying though. Like I recently rewatched Jericho vs Benoit's ladder match from Rumble 200... 1? And I was all like "why was this match so highly rated" but I mean the more I think about it the more it was probably because I'm so damn burnt out on ladder spots about 16-17 years after its original broadcast, and in the moment those kinda things were very innovative. But I do think there are a lot of matches out there that are timeless, a lot of matches that were great in the moment but haven't aged well, and a lot of matches that weren't really that good to begin with. Sorting out the latter two is difficult, but I do think a timeless factor to a match makes it better and shouldn't just be discarded either. It is a shame the superior Christian wasn't nominated though. Just another reason I should've had 10 more nominations. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 3:56:41 AM #75 | In universe consistency is all I care about. Wrestling reliably says if the heel can cheat and get away with it the boss doesn't care. And realistically I think that's fine. As long as the match reaches a conclusion where one side won decisively who cares. What I can't deal with is intentional DQ/countout finishes being tolerated because in universe there is no consistency on that. Stips get put in place like "if you get dqed you lose the title" or "no dq so we must have a winner" and it's like "why don't you always do that" --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/06/18 3:23:29 AM #68 | Well I only care if the show is fake if it feels fake. I can watch 80s, 90s and 00s wrestling all the time and never get that feeling. At some point we hit a critical mass of match scripting, formulaic feud building, etc etc, that a lot of it feels too fake for me nowadays. Like Matt Hardy vs Curtis Axel this Monday... if this were real, based on the Win/Loss records of both guys, Matt Hardy should win that easily. However, because they're trying to build up these new contenders, I just knew Axel was going to win. And because Axel was a heel, I knew it was going to be an unclean win. And because he has a tag team partner, it had to be a distraction finish. I didn't try to do this, I just did this naturally. And what makes it worse is there are plenty of ways to build up the B Team as contenders without having Axel just beat Matt Hardy via distraction finish. Brock matches though I never have any idea of what's going to happen, other than feeling mostly confident Brock will win, which is awesome. That's how wrestling should be. It's not like I'm trying to disbelieve as much as my ability to suspend disbelief drops to a critical level for a lot of stuff these days. It's not even all wrestling, either. I don't have this problem with Lucha Underground or NJPW. Brock is the last holy bastion of WWE booking right now. I don't want him to win forever, but "we need to bail on this ASAP" is further away from how I feel for damn sure. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 3:04:58 AM #65 | HashtagSEP posted... Like, when you say stuff like "I even wanted Brock vs Jinder," i just totaly don't get it. That would never be a good match in a million years, so unless Brock's presence just gives you a massive rager, I don't even remotely see the appeal Brock utterly dismantling him would've been a fun squash to watch. And the fact that you could seriously humor the possibility of a squash in a PPV champion vs champion title match gives it a sense of legitimacy for me that wrestling sorely lacks right now. Put it another way, Brock feels a lot less fake than the entire product right now. If I watch a Brock match, I legitimately don't know what's going to happen. It feels like an actual honest to goodness wrestling match. If I watch anyone else, I all but know they're going to put on a match that goes X length of time, has a distraction finish, etc etc. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

This is why I hate Roman/Brock I feel like if literally anyone else beats Brock it will have a sense of feeling organic though, so I get hyped every time Roman/Brock is just sort of just too meta for me though. It really feels like it's just a battle of wills between Vince McMahon and the fans more than an actual match. It certainly doesn't help that Roman's offense is utterly unbelievable and he's been completely destroyed in every match with Brock --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 2:56:41 AM #61 | I think Styles at his peak was a legitimate champion. He was squandered though and now it's like whatever. He definitely feels more like an IC Title guy than the actual world champion right now.

| Lopen 07/06/18 2:49:25 AM #57 | I've been thoroughly hyped for all of his non Roman matches since that non Mania match with Taker, which had 0 hype And I enjoyed most of the matches at that Cept that Strowman/Brock single that was so bad Like if you just announce Lashley vs Brock and make no build for it whatsoever I want to see it like 10x as much as Styles/Rusev. Cause the build for Styles/Rusev has been so bad, and Styles has not been properly built as a champion, so I don't care whatsoever who wins. Like yeah, Rusev is cool, but I don't think winning the title makes him a star or anything like that. He'd more likely drop back to midcard right after he lost it (sup Jinder), so who cares. Beating Brock still has some mystique though (likely because absence has protected him from toxic bad writing). It's like Mania Taker appeal every PPV for me. --- No problem!

| Lopen 07/06/18 2:29:42 AM #53 | And like I wanna stress it's not "removing Brock 100% wouldn't improve feud builds on Raw" I just think Brock as champion makes for matches I want to see almost by default (when it's not Roman) where another champion wouldn't. So it's weighing the loss of that vs "potentially making some feuds for the Universal Title better" And if you're trying to sell me on that, then you'd better convince me the feuds are going to be a decent amount better because you're paying a price for it. Like even if you think AJ/Nakamura or AJ/Rusev are good feuds because your standards have fallen off the earth, they're not good enough to offset the loss of Brock vs not Reigns being automatically something I'll probably want to watch. Put it another way I don't think there's been a single feud since AJ Styles vs John Cena for the WWE Title that intrigued me enough to outweigh the appeal of Brock title matches. That was almost two years ago now. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 07/06/18 2:21:28 AM #52 | Panthera posted... I don't know why your defense of Brock is always "but other things are bad" but it annoys me. My defense is that because Brock is literally the absence of things so to improve over nothing you should in theory have something that improves the situation. But we can see what Smackdown does with a present champion and it's arguably worse, at least lately.

| Lopen 07/06/18 1:03:46 AM #49 | The show isn't going to stop feeling like that with a champion that's present I again will take you back to Smackdown. Do you feel Smackdown is doing anything but killing time 90% of the time? Because I don't. And AJ Styles being present doesn't change that. I mean basically that should always be your sanity check because you can't scapegoat Brock for Smackdown. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Topic | What RPG has the worst final BOSS? |
| Lopen 07/05/18 11:40:58 PM #22 | Well Final Fantasy IV (and many other RPGs) does that kinda thing to better effect a few times and it's not done by making the boss feel generic. It's an interesting take on it but I don't really think that it's likely intentional. Anyway it's a cool fight and much better than the final boss but I probably wouldn't like it as a final boss either as it was. But it wasn't the final boss so I'm not judging it as one. You probably could make it a cool final boss if you wanted to go that way though, though it probably wouldn't make a ton of plot sense.
